By tschnet1

Ingredients

• 1/4 cup finely ground dark-roast coffee
• 1/4 cup ancho chile powder
• 1/4 cup dark brown sugar, tightly packed
• 2 tablespoons smoked paprika
• 2 tablespoons kosher salt
• 1 tablespoon ground cumin

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix all the ingredients thoroughly, massaging the mixture with your fingers to break down the dark brown sugar into fine crystals.

Liberally sprinkle a thin layer of the rub onto the steak, then pat it in with your fingers so it adheres.
